To SM Entertainment Co. Ltd:
After 12 months of waiting for Zhang Liyin’s comeback into the Asian entertainment industry, Chocolates (her unofficial fanclub name) were finally able to see her return into the spotlight. Four months after her return, her album sales were reported to be over 270,000 in sales, and her single, “I Will” reached music rankings in both China and Korea. As loyal fans of Liyin, we couldn’t be more proud. Liyin was finally receiving the attention she has long deserved.
However, during this summer, SM Entertainment announced a Pan-Asia tour for the SMTOWN family, including one stop specifically in Shanghai, China – Liyin's home country and her target audience for the past nine months. For the first stop in Korea, she was only able to sing two songs, "I Will" and "One More Try". As Korea is not her target market, we Chocolates agreed that this should be acceptable. But despite BoA forced to withdraw from the Shanghai concert due to an injury and thus freeing up open performance spots for other artists, you chose not to give any of the free slots for your Chinese soloist, who would be singing, at the time, to a Chinese audience. Instead, her two song performances remained the same, while artists who have never promoted in China before were given more than two song performances. Devastated at the lost opportunity for Liyin to shine in her home country, Chocolates realized that SM Entertainment had once again ignored their talent, Zhang Liyin, and ultimately, all her fans.
